The original goal of the proposed research project was to crystallize a chiral host molecule with a diene-containing quest molecule to produce stereoselective molecules in a solid state reaction. These topochemical reactions occur within a crystallin...

Since the discovery of the topochemical 1,4-polymerization of 3,4-bis(methylene)hexanedioic acid (BMHA), the first reported polymerization of an internally substituted butadiene, an objective of our research group has been to characterize the chemica...

Luminescent properties of lanthanide complexes possess unique characteristics that makethem good candidates for possible bioimaging agents and have inspired research initiatives tofurther explore these materials. However, the toxicity of these metals...

A multi-part fluorescent probe was designed for the development of new clinical tools for the detection and treatment of melanoma skin cancer. It has been proposed that the addition of a fluorescent tag to a melanocyte stimulating hormone would creat...

This project focuses on the synthesis of novel dienes containing dicarboxylic acid and dipyridyl groups and their use in constructing metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and coordination polymers. Dicarboxylate and dipyridyl ligands are commonly used whe...
